Measure I (2018): Local Funding for School Improvements

On July 16, 2018, the SAUSD Board of Education voted to place a $232 million school improvement bond measure on the November 6, 2018 ballot.  Voters approved the Bond measure by a considerable margin.  Over 70% voted Yes to approve Measure I, far more than the 55% required to pass the measure.

As approved by local voters, the measure seeks to:

• Provide the classrooms, laboratories, facilities, and technology needed to support high-quality instruction in math, science, engineering, and technology
• Repair or replace deteriorating roofs, plumbing, gas and electrical systems
• Provide modern science labs, engineering labs, and career technical education facilities so students are prepared for college and in-demand careers in fields like health sciences, engineering, technology, robotics, and skilled trades
• Upgrade older schools so they meet the same academic and safety standards as newer schools.
• Replace failing heating and ventilation systems and improve insulation, doors, windows, and irrigation to improve energy and water efficiency and save money
• Remove hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint from older school sites

The measure also made SAUSD eligible for up to $62 million in matching funds from the State.
